Revenue Royalties 101:

An Interview with Arthur Lipperfor Asia-Pacific Business Strategies

For companies with a demonstrated ability to grow their topline revenues, there are alternatives to conventional venture capital, private equity, bank or other forms of debt. This interview introduces interested companies to the potential usefulness of revenue royalties and how to implement them.

This interview, broadcast live from Honolulu, walks through some of the details of royalties finance from the viewpoint of young companies seeking capital. A brief illustration of how one of the analytical models works invites additional participation.

Pacific Royalties is a financial education firm based in Honolulu, that does research on providing capital for growing companies and current income for investors. The company advises those who wish to create investment vehicles that feature revenue royalties as an alternative to debt and equity.

The availability of capital for private companies is the lifeblood of the economy.

Private companies are the hotbed of innovation, employment creation, and economic diversity. Making it easier for emerging companies to secure financing on reasonable terms provides the oxygen that the economy needs to grow — and the enhanced returns sought by sophisticated investors.

But there are many obstacles to raising private capital, both for investors, and for the companies in which they invest. Many companies — and investors — face great challenges in finding the opportunities they need.

And sophisticated investors know that the equity of private companies carries significant risk — they often prefer more predictable, income-based assets.

Can some of these obstacles be removed?

Royalty Finance is one emerging answer to this question, pioneered by one of the most creative minds in modern business, Arthur Lipper. This website explores several developments being offered by Mr. Lipper and his partners.
